Tension
NAV Lyrics

I never had shit, so I wear my AP when I sleep
I come from humble beginnings, so I cherish my success by wearing my expensive watch to bed as a reminder of how far I've come.

I respect my OGs 'cause they practice what they preach
I admire and honor those who came before me and paved the way for my success because they lead by example, embodying the values they promote.

My whip customized, fully loaded, quilted seats
My car is personalized to my taste, equipped with all the bells and whistles, and comfortable with plush seats.

Buy her CC sneaks just so I don't hear a peep (peep)
I buy my partner expensive Chanel sneakers just so she won't complain or nag me about anything.

I mean I got a maid that change my sheets
I have a maid who takes care of the mundane tasks in my luxurious lifestyle, such as changing my sheets, showing the extent of my wealth.

I'm so lit that my first crush just turned into a creep
My newfound fame and success have caused my childhood crush to act strangely and obsessively towards me, creating an uncomfortable situation.

Push-to-start, I think I lost my key under the seat
My car is so advanced that it starts with the push of a button, and I may have misplaced the key somewhere among the luxurious details.

Makin' art with my home team and my whole team gon' eat
I am creating art with my close-knit group of friends, and we will all prosper and thrive together from our collective success.

Tension I feel when I go on the road
I experience anxiety and stress when I am traveling for work and cannot be in my comfort zone.

Got hittas that will strip you down, they grippin' on they pole
I have loyal and dedicated crew members who will go to any lengths to protect me, even if it means using their weapons.

Tension I feel, my pinky covered in diamond rose
I am under pressure to maintain my extravagant lifestyle, as evidenced by my diamond-encrusted pinky ring.

No pension, I'm finna go and buy my mom a Rolls
I have no intention of retiring and will keep working hard to provide for my family, as I plan to buy my mother a luxurious Rolls-Royce car.

Tension I feel when I come offstage at my show
I feel anxious and nervous when I finish performing and must take down the energetic persona I put on for my fans.

Tension I feel when I see someone that I know
I am uneasy when I encounter people from my past, as they may treat me differently now that I am successful and famous.

Attention I feel when I wear Prada to my toes
I receive a lot of scrutiny and attention from others when I wear luxury designer items, even down to my footwear.

Attention I feel when I'm surrounded by these hoes
I am aware of the female attention I receive due to my fame and wealth, which can be overwhelming and superficial.

Tension I feel when the plug don't pick up
I feel stressed and panicked when my dealer does not answer my calls or provide me with what I need.

Tension I feel when the sun comin' up
I feel uneasy when the night ends, and I must face the real world and responsibilities that come with my job.

We be in the field, it ain't hard to find us
I have a strong and visible presence in my community, as I am involved in various projects, making it easy for people to track or locate me.

I'm chillin' at the top, you still tryna climb up
I have achieved a high level of success and recognition, while others are still trying to get to where I am.

I feel tension every time I count up
I experience intense emotions when counting large sums of money, knowing the implications and risks of this sudden wealth.

Just to mention I'm grateful that they found us
I want to express my gratitude to those who discovered and supported me, enabling my dreams and success to come true.

They feel tension when they come around us
People become nervous or intimidated when in the presence of me and my team, given our wealth, power, and reputation.

All this water, think the jeweler tryna drown us
The abundance of diamonds and jewelry in my possession is so vast that it feels like I am drowning in it.

Take half of the E, let her wear my rings
I am willing to share my drugs and possessions with my partner, allowing her to wear my valuable jewelry in a display of trust and affection.

All my stones are fancy, be careful with these
My diamonds and jewels are not ordinary and must be treated with care and caution, given their rarity and value.

Tension I feel when she don't give 'em back to me
I am anxious when my partner fails to return or loses my precious and expensive jewelry, as they are a symbol of my wealth and status.

Tension I feel when she don't suck me 'til I sleep
I feel frustrated when my partner does not satisfy my sexual desires, given the stress and pressure in my life.

They weren't used to somebody that looks like me
People are surprised and unfamiliar with someone like me, who comes from a different background and appearance than what they expect from a successful person.

Now you look at god
Despite others' disbelief or skepticism, my success and achievements have elevated me to a god-like status in the eyes of my fans and followers.

Seeing the things that I've seen, know what I'm sayin'?
As someone who has experienced the dark side of life, I understand the struggles and obstacles that others may face and can relate to them.

The music just cut through, no matter what
Regardless of what hurdles and challenges life throws my way, my music has the power to overcome and resonate with others.

They ain't care what I look like, they just care about the music
My fans and supporters are more interested in my talent and artistry than my appearance or social status, demonstrating the power of my music to connect with people.
